BCE MACH LLC / CAMPBELL 36 27 13 1 SWD STATION - Alva, Oklahoma Oil Extraction Facility

BCE MACH LLC / CAMPBELL 36 27 13 1 SWD STATION is a saltwater disposal (SWD) facility located in Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma. As part of the oil extraction sector, it manages produced water from nearby oil wells, a critical function for maintaining production rates and environmental compliance. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211120) classify it within crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as crude petroleum extraction. SWD stations like this one are essential for handling the large volumes of brine and wastewater generated during oil production. They inject the water into deep geological formations, preventing surface contamination and reducing seismic risks. The facility's location in the Anadarko Basin places it in a region with extensive oil and gas activity. From an environmental perspective, SWD stations play a dual role: they prevent surface water pollution from produced water and help maintain reservoir pressure for enhanced oil recovery. However, improper management can lead to induced seismicity or groundwater contamination. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing compliance with state and federal regulations, including the Safe Drinking Water Act's Underground Injection Control program.

The facility operates in the Anadarko Basin, a region with significant oil and gas extraction. Saltwater disposal wells are regulated under the EPA's Underground Injection Control program to protect groundwater. The local environment includes agricultural land and sensitive aquifers, making proper disposal critical. Induced seismicity is a concern in Oklahoma, requiring careful monitoring of injection volumes and pressures.
